It was a day of celebration yesterday, as Melissa Errico released a new album and opened a new show, a companion piece to the album, both titled OUT OF THE DARK: THE FILM NOIR PROJECT. Melissa Errico was doing her fair share of the celebrating, but the true jubilation was coming directly from the fans, whether those listening to the cd or those at the live performance at 54 Below – and anyone who didn’t make it to opening night should click HERE and reserve seats for tonight’s show, purported to be the closing night but, with a presentation like this, there can be no doubt that Out of the Dark: The Film Noir Project will be extended repeatedly and booked into every cabaret, concert, and club venue around the world looking for the highest quality entertainment. This is not hyperbole, it is not exaggeration, and it is certainly subjective (especially since the quality of each of Ms. Errico’s shows goes above and beyond the call of duty) but this writer believes that, with Out of the Dark, Melissa Errico has reached new heights.
